FAMILY SECRETS
With Raquel Bravo
“Family Secrets” is a workshop to investigate the use of the family album as a material from a photographic project. We will discover their material, narrative and symbolic particularities from theoretical reflection and a selection of visual referents. We will learn strategies and methodologies to address projects from practice. We will use different photobooks from contemporary authors as cases of study. And we will implement the lessons learned by developing and pooling a small, standardised activity.
Raquel Bravo Iglesias (Valladolid). She is interested in memory as an opportunity for collective bargaining through personal narratives. For this, use the archive as a problematic anchor point from which to review the present. His project Mato Grosso has won the Fotolibro.40 Prize and has been finalized in the Felifa International Prize and in the Prix du Livre des Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles in 2022. She currently works as a teacher at UOC, IED and CEV.

A FILM IS A BEATING BODY
With Ariadna Ribas
The author will expose her cinematic look through the mount, her specialty. Build, by definition, is the tool from which we put together unconnected elements (images, sounds, ideas, …) to create something new: film. But how does this process take place? Where does the mounter work from? What tools do you have to try and find the best possible film? From his personal experience the Ariadna Ribas will explain to us what the elements make up the process of film-making and how the mounting work (and hence the cinema) can be linked to our own body.

BADLANDS
Tomeu Coll
More than a century ago, these lands were filled with stagnant water, wild nature and malaria-bearing mosquitoes. Pirates would not dare to penetrate the wetlands, which still today would become a marsh if not for the asphalt that keeps them at bay. This work is a reflection of these damaged and forgotten lands, and is also a claim to the fact that they continue to resist invasion by visitors who year after year collapse the uncontrolled island.
Tomeu Coll (Mallorca). The devotion and obsession with photography and the different ways of storytelling have led his work to be valued by different in-ternational media, with which he still works today. His personal projects have also been exhibited internationally, both in individual exhibitions in galleries and in photography festivals. In late 2019 he published the book with his long-term project, Badlands with the publishing house Kehrer Verlag of Germany.

NEVER NEVERLAND
Vanessa Roca
Neverland is a fictional island whose inhabitants, called the “lost children”, are known to refuse to grow up without rules and responsibilities and spend almost most of their time enjoying or living adventures. It represents the vital traffic towards adulthood by self-exposure of intimate moments related to crisis, research and evasion, loss and love.
Vanessa Roca (La Ràpita, 1990). She is a photographer and educator. His work revolves around an interest in the representation of identity and vital transitions, starting with a self-referential exercise, often from a very intuitive process and mostly in analog format. In the last two years his work has been exhibited in various collective exhibitions in Spain, Poland and France.

One of the most striking elements when we land on the island of Menorca is the amount of stone seen in the landscape and constructions. In 2018, the art of construction with the technique of <> (dry stone) was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Today, this type of construction is in danger of disappearing, as there is no generational relief and fewer people are engaged in this trade.

IDIL·LI MEDITERRANI
Reno Wideson
“Idil·li Mediterranean” is the portrait from a touristic look of the Minorca of the 1960s. The exhibition focuses on a selection of Reno Wideson’s work showing life and subsistence in the island’s ports during the periods that Menorca visited.
Reno Wideson (1920 – 2020). He was one of the most important Cypriot photographers and left countless images of everyday life, landscape and the people of Cyprus. His contribution to the image of Cyprus between the 1940s and 1960s was special, as in 1949 he was employed in the newly created Bureau of Turistic Development. In 1960 he moved to England where he worked for the BBC. The anger of the Mediterranean caused him to search for a nearby place where he could spend seasons remembering his native Cyprus. He discovered Minorca and settled there from the summers of 1963 until the beginning of the 21st century.

A choral portrait of a seasonal community, from a tone of mystery, close to the thriller but without losing sight of the customary comedy, mixing documentary and fiction. Meanwhile, its inhabitants are trying to live with the contradictions of this tourism model that feels like an invasion, but which also generates millions of euros in the catering sector and jobs.

The olive tree has been, and is, without doubt, one of the most recognizable identitarian signals of Mediterranean culture throughout its history. However, it is not so clear that it will continue to be so in the future, at least in Majorca, where the landscape itself has begun to show signs of exhaustion. The documentary is an immersion in the world of the olive grove of the Tramuntana mountain range, in its history and culture surrounding it, especially the musical part searching for the working songs that the villagers sang in the past.

Punk is a counter-cultural movement that is born of the need to break with what is established. He was born in the 1960s in the United States, and took a special role in the England of the 1970s. In Spain, groups such as the R.I.P, Cicatriz or Eskorbuto became the main voice of the punk ideology of strong opposition to capitalism, fascism and the established system.

GREEN SHOOTING, SUSTAINABILITY REACHES CINEMA AND ARTS
The film industry is a great energy consumer and waste generator. It involves a large number of shifts, hours and hours of high-power lighting, a huge water consumption, tons of wood to build the sets and kilos of waste from catering that ends up in the manure. According to various studies, the production of a small film involves the emission of almost 400 tonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to 130 cars for a year, and one-hour television production emits almost 10 tonnes of that gas. That is why more and more countries and producers are taking initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of the industry through sustainable practices, which have been hampered by a new figure: eco-manager.
